Question

Identify the given figure and select the correct option for the parts labelled as A,B and C

• A. C represents the cells which are replaced by albuminous cells in non-flowering plants such as gymnosperm
• B. A represents phloem parenchyma, which is absent in most monocots.
• C. B represents the cells which become dead on maturity
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A C represents the cells which are replaced by albuminous cells in non-flowering plants such as gymnosperm

A represents the sieve plates of the phloem which has pores through which food can travel.

B represents the sieve tube which is the main transport unit of the phloem. Each sieve tube is separated by sieve plates.

C are companion cells which are replaced by albuminous cells in non flowering vascular plants or gymnosperms. Both companion cells and albuminous cells have the same function.

So the correct option is ' C represents the cells which are replaced by albuminous cells in non flowering plants such as gymnosperm'.
